    Due Date: 11:59 pm EST Sunday of Unit 6 Points: 100 Overview:

    Assume that you are a helping professional and you are meeting your new client for the first time. In the referral, the client identified a major problem in living that they are experiencing. In preparation for this meeting, you must conduct some basic research about the problem to understand the client’s current situation. Once you have some information on the problem, you will be looking for services in your local area that you can suggest to support the client in resolving their problem in living.

    Instructions:

    The following are the sections of your paper:

    • Introduction: o What is the problem you are discussing, including the problem’s

    background information? o Who is affected by the selected problem? o What are the underlying causes of the problem? o What are the potential impacts of this problem? (Is there a domino

    effect? Does this problem prevent the client from meeting their basic needs? Does this problem impact other aspects of their lives?)

    o What types of services or supports are needed to resolve/address the problem?

    • Two local service suggestions to help clients: o Share the information for a specific program or service in your area that

    you can suggest to the client. Be sure to include the program name. o What is the service offered? How does it work? (i.e., is it a home visiting

    program, do they offer long-term in-office counseling, do they have an on-sight shelter?)

    • Identify the barriers a client may face in accessing the services identified. • Conclusion:

    o Restate your thesis and tie all of your findings together.

    Unit 6 Assignment: Addressing Client Needs

    o Discuss any shortcomings you found in your area when looking for services.

    o Discuss any specific suggestions or ideas you may have to help clients experiencing the problem you selected.

Make sure you have an introduction, well developed paragraphs with transitions, a conclusion, complete sentences, proper punctuation and that you carefully proofread your paper before submitting it.

    • 2 resources plus the textbook are required. o The majority of the information should be written in your own words

    (paraphrased), with citations to show where the material came from. o Whenever you use material that is not your own, even if you are

    summarizing or paraphrasing, you must give credit to the original source. o When you cannot use your own words, you must use quotation marks.

    Save quotes for when there is simply no other way to put the information into your own words and limit it to a sentence or two.

    o All students are encouraged to utilize the Post Writing Center for assistance with APA style papers.
